THE PAPERS which are intimidated by the
whisky influence are concealing the facts re-
specting the late elections in Tennessee on the
prohibitory amendment. The result, as an
nounced by the official count. was so close as
almost to hang in the balance of uncertainty
Temperance people have much reason to feel
happy-BdltinaOre Methodist.
The ''wets' carried Tennessee by more than
$1,000 majority, and it strikes that there is not
much balance of uncertainty about such
figures. We are glad if the temperance people
feel happy over this result, but we really do not
see ANYTHING in it to make them smile.

IN HIS SPEECH at meeting in Baltimore on
Tuesday night Mr.. John X. Cowen made a very
serious charge against one of the candidates on
the Democratic State ticket, to the effect that
he was instrumental in having Democratic re-
peaters vote at animportant election in his coun-
ty upon certificates from Baltimore city regis
tiers. Mr.. Cowen said that he knew such charge
was libelous and announced himself willing to
take the consequences and prove the charges
should he be brought before court of law. Any
man who would engage in such scheme as this
is unworthy of the suffrages of the people, and
il the candidate is not guilty he should lose no
time in establishing his innocence. This is too
serious a matter to pass unnOticed.

THE ST. PAUL PioneeT-Press says that Post
master-General Villas is not a candidate for the
Vice-Presidential nomination on the Cleveland
ticket next fall but that he is biding his time for
altogether bigger game-the Presidency itself in
1892 and that it is all arranged that Villas is to
succeed Cleveland. This programme, it is said,
the President not only acquiesces in but heartily
indorses, and will quietly exert his potent influ-
ence to see it successfully executed.

rRAND JURY REPORT.
SEPTEMBER TERM, 1887.

To the Honorable the Judges of the Circuit Court:
We regret that violations of law in the sellng
of LIQUOR on Sunday consumed much time OF the
Grand Jury. The bulk of our people, vast ma
iority as we believe are favorable to the improve
ment of the law, but it seems impracticable to
properly execute it with existing provisions; and
it is to be regretted that the penalties against Its
offences operate rather license than as an ade-
ouate punishment and prevention of an ohense In
imical to good morals, subversive of good order
and destructive of the observance OF the CHRISTIAN
Sabbath Its violators interfere with the rights OF
the law abiding citizens engaged in the same
business. We recommend that more stringentpen-
.ltias he affixed to this offence 1t is earnestly to
much time and attention OF the Grand Jury ana
the Court should be disposed of by the Magistrates,
thus effecting real saving to the county without
substantially jeopardizng the rights of any.
We visited the Jail and found it clearly as
the interior of the building would admit. We
suggest the removal oft the stationary water closets
in the cells and give the prisoners galvanized
buckets instead, as we think that would improve
the sanitary condition of the building, and also
save expense.
The report of the Committee to examine the
books of the Treasurer is herewith submitted.
The thanks of the Jury is also rendered to your
Honors and all the officers of the Court for asss
lance and information

THE SHERIFF Of Allegany county says that he
has looked into the matter and is satisfied that
the law under which the vote will be taken for
or against convention does not require him to
provide separate ballot-boxes and ballots and
that therefore he will pay no attention to the
circular issued by Chairman Archer, of the DEM
ocratic State Central Committee. The Sheriff of
Baltimore county, in order that no mistake shall
be made, has referred the matter to Attorney
General Roberts for an opinion

JUSTICE PAXSoN, of the Philadelphia Supreme
Court, in refusing an appeal in recent case be-
fore him, clearly defined the standard Of intelli-
gence that should be enforced in the selection Of
jurors and said that a man who cannot or does
not read a newspaper is not properly qualified to
serve as juror. This is very different law
(says the Tines from that which rejects juror
because he has, by reading newspapers, formed
some sort of opinion of the guilt or innocence of
the prisoner, as every man who reads about the
crime is likely to do. On the other hand, very
few disinterested men among the many who do
form opinion really form one that could not
be changed by the evidence, and an opinion of
this character is not likely to be held by news
paper reader.

THE REPORT of the late Grand Jury, of which
Richard H. Woollen, ESQ.,, was foreman, refers
to the fact that the continued violations of the
Sunday liquor law consumed much of the time
of the session, and adds: 1.-THE bulk of our peo-
pie, vast majority as we believe, are favorable
to the improvement of the law, but it seems inn
practicable to properly execute it with existing
provisions and it is to be regretted that the
penalties against its offences operate rather as
license than as an adequate punishment and pre-
yention of an offence inimical to good morals,
subversive of good order and destructive of the
observance of the Christian Sabbath. Its viola
tors interfere with the rights of the w-abiding
citizens engaged in the same business. We re-
commend that more stringent penalties be affixed
to this offence" The people generally will ap-
prove the stand taken by the jury on this SUBJ
ject, Certainly some plan might be devised that
would put an end to the continued and fragrant
violations of this law. The thing has become so
bare-faced as to be a disgrace to the county.

Tho oorrupter came down like wolf on the IOl9,
To Inv IN the knights with ten thousand IN gou,

In the hands of the briber to barter the Tree
Like the leaves of the forest, when summer Is
That Gold in its PROMISE at sunset was seen; o.h

That gold on the morrow lay worthless anu

For the knights in their wrath most Indignantly

And the eyes of the briber waxed deadly and
chill,
And his heart but once heaved and forever grew
still!
And there lay his hacker with nostril all w1de,
But through it there rolled not the breath OF MS
pride;
And the foam of his madness lay white on the
turf,
And cold as the spray on the rock-beating surf.
And there lay another distorted and pale
With disgrace on his brow and curse on MS

And HEADQUARTERS are silent, its runners alone,
Their secrets exploded, their villainy known.
And the ballo-box suffers are loud in their vail
For the pluggers broke in the temple OF Baal
And the might of the bosses unsmote by the
sword
Hath melted like snow in the glance of the Lord

hotter as the day for the municipal election ap-

passed between the orators of the two PARTIES
Meetings are being held every night and party
feeling is running very high, but no disorder has
